I originally ordered this book over the SME website. However after doing so, I looked for the book on amazon and found it way cheaper. So I canceled the SME order and bought from Amazon. It's the same book and everything and was received via shipping in reasonable time as well. Great Bargain!

I purchased this book for a class. It is very informative. The way they explain things can be annoying at times. There are lots of references in the middle of paragraphs that are unecessary. There are also many times where they say "go to this book to find out about this subject". It's good if you actually want to go look for other books, but annoying if you are just reading this one. The graphs and pictures are very helpful. Overall this book explains the concepts well.

Worthwhile Reading

The Benefits Of A Car GPS System
By Andrew Winthorp

Driving from point A to point B has gotten much easier over the years, as tracking technology like GPS (Global Positioning System) brings the added convenience of many different capabilities. When looking to purchase a car GPS system, a new world of easier traveling, enhanced safety, and property protection becomes accessible. To fully comprehend the many benefits of car GPS, consider the following:

Lost on the Road?

When written directions are no help and you find yourself traveling a dark, intimidating road that doesn't look too familiar - one of the best benefits of car GPS comes when you are able to find your way out of the darkness. All of this is made possible with a technology that enables you to pinpoint your exact location and then use a tracking system to create a course to follow that gets you where you need to go. Many users simply use GPS to create a mapped-out plan before taking to the road and running the risk of getting lost.

Safety and Protection

In this day and age, you never know when you will become a victim of a crime, such as car theft. When criminals are aware that a GPS tracking system is installed on a vehicle, it makes drivers less susceptible to this illegal act, which sometimes involves violence. If you have found that your car has been stolen, a GPS tracking system can aid the police in locating your car in less time by pinpointing the exact position of your automobile - no matter where it is.

Depending on the kind of GPS car system you choose, various features are included. Some consumers enjoy built-in roadside assistance, monitoring services, and access to emergency help. Certain models of in-car systems are automatically keyed in to alert the nearest 911 operator if an accident should take place.

Small Size and Ease of Use

The benefits of car GPS systems are connected to a small unit that easily attaches to your windshield or dashboard. Following the directions of a GPS system for the car is rather easy, as you input your desired location and wait for further instructions that deliver turn-by-turn commands given by a voice in real time. Now days, it is quite common to see rental agencies installing GPS in their vehicles to entice their customers. Also, if a rental car is stolen, GPS easily finds it without losing any time.

Save Money

The benefits of car GPS systems also places more money in your pocket, as some companies are now lowering the rates of car insurance for drivers possessing this added advantage. Companies are now acknowledging those who purchase a car with this type of system already installed, as well as offer savings to those who have GPS car tracking installed after the purchase of a new or used vehicle.

In the long run, you stand to save money when buying a GPS car system even without the car insurance discounts. Consumers spend less money on gas when they are aware of their exact positioning on the road, and have the means to quickly get where they want to go in less time and without wasting gas.
